Keynote by Jeff Jarvis at re:publica 2010 in Berlin: "The German Paradox - Privacy, publicness, and penises".

"When we worry too much about protecting privacy, we risk losing the benefits of publicness that the internet brings us. Ill argue that we, the public, must protect whats public."

why dont germans blogg as much...

Awnser: perhaps many germans are intelligent enough to realize that the things thay have to say where allready said or are nothing speacial... when i read the us bloggs most of it is just bullshit

ich versuchs mal auf deutsch. ich blogge nicht weil ich nicht der meinung bin das das was ich zu sagen habe eine website wert ist... versteht mich nciht falsch aber auch nur 10 leute aufzuhalten mit dem scheis der in den meisten bloggs steht is ein diebstahl von zeit^^

i have a problem with lack of privicy as soon as someone can harm me AND make profit with my data

i have a problem with lack of privacy as soon as someone got a motive to abuse stuff, because i know humans far too well and know that they will abuse my data as soon as they can

goverments and companies do DISGUSTING! stuff to the ppl, why would they change their behavior online? why would they respect human privicy if they often dont even respect human life?

jeff isnt optimistic, he is naive

sorry, this dude doesnt unterstand what privacy is all about...he talks and talks....but this has nothing to do with the german understanding of privacy

i just watched to minute 4 and you see he doesnt gets the idea about "privacy" at all.. i decide who get my informations.. my friends, my relatives also my nice neighbours can have it .. of course the nice looking girl in the sauna.. not that idiot that is living next door that i dont like and not freaking everybody that got internet!

Du sprichst mir so aus dem Herzen! Wir alle sollten uns nicht so ernst nehmen. Wir driften in den Kitsch.
